Elemental Damage

Elemental damage increases the damage dealt by weapons that scale with it. In addition some weapons, and the item Scared Sausage can inflict burn damage. Each point of Elemental Damage increases the damage dealt by the burn by 1 per second. Negative elemental damage reduces the damage dealt by weapons and burn instead down to a minimum of 1.
